Adjusting the Position of the Projected Image

Hint

  • The / (Power), INPUT, MENU, and /// (Up/Down/Left/Right)/ (Enter) buttons on the control panel of the main unit function in the same way as those on the remote control. The LENS button functions in the same way as the FOCUS, ZOOM, and SHIFT buttons on the remote control.
  • When adjusting the lens on the control panel, each time you press the LENS button on the main unit, the lens adjustment function switches in the order of FOCUS, ZOOM, and SHIFT.

  • When [Lens Control] is set to [Off] in the [Installation] menu, you cannot make adjustments with the FOCUS, ZOOM, or SHIFT button.
  • When [Test Pattern] is set to [Off] in the [Function] menu, the test pattern is not displayed.
  • Focus adjustment
    The projection lens of the high brightness projector is thermally affected by the light from the light source. Therefore, the focus is not stable immediately after turning on the power. To adjust the focus more precisely, it is recommended to adjust the focus after 30 minutes or more have elapsed since the projector has been turned on, and after the lens focus adjustment window (test pattern) has been displayed for 2 minutes or more.

Note

  • Depending on the installation location of the projector, you may not be able to control it with the remote control. In that case, use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote control detector on the projector or towards the screen.
  • Adjust the lens with the control panel on the main unit or with the remote control. Do not adjust the lens by turning the lens directly with your hands. Doing so may cause damage or malfunction.
  • Do not touch the lens when you adjust the image position. Your fingers may be pinched when the lens extends/retracts.
  • Note that if the unit is tilted up or down, the projected image will be distorted in a trapezoidal shape.
  • Be careful not to pinch your fingers when rotating the front feet (adjustable).

  2. Press the ZOOM button to display the lens zoom adjustment window (test pattern). Then, adjust the size of the image with the /// (Up/Down/Left/Right) button.

    To enlarge the image, press the / (Up/Right) button.

    To reduce the image, press the / (Down/Left) button.

  3. Press the SHIFT button to display the lens shift adjustment window (test pattern). Then, adjust the position of the image with the /// (Up/Down/Left/Right) button.

To return the lens position

Press the RESET button on the remote control while the lens shift adjustment window is displayed. The lens returns to the center (factory default position). (The zoom and focus settings are not changed.)

Range of movement on the projected image

You can move the projected image only within the octagon area shown in the figure below. The movable range depends on the lens or the aspect ratio of the projected image.

To adjust the tilt of the installation surface

If the unit is installed on an uneven surface, use the front feet (adjustable) (A) to keep the unit level.
